if yesterday was a hurricane of despair and negativity,
today is a rainbow of puppysunshinehappylovesmile time!!!
it was beautiful today!
breezy and perfect and i decided to climb our one mountain.
at the summit were the old rusty exercise machines and free weights
it was so eerie and fantastic and i got a good (free!) workout!
next i went to homever and i discovered they have spices! like even tumeric!!!
i am so psyched about cooking.
after my big walk i still didn't want to go inside
so i took my book up to the roof.
i was so happy - there was no place i'd rather be or thing i'd rather be doing
and then i heard the drums!
remember i said i missed the high school band drums?
these were like that BUT BETTER!!!
i was enjoying myself immensely
and then i decided to find the source...
at lake park there was a huge show going on!
with dancing and costumes and eight drummers and horns and singing ladies!
and everyone was clapping and totally into it, it was so great!
on the way home, this korean man stops me and asks me about english lessons.
ok, i don't do those, and i'm ready to dismiss this fellow
but we keep talking and we hit it off! he's cool! not creepy!
he ends up buying me dinner at a vietnamese place where you sit on the floor and roll your own spring rolls
and we buy beers and i GO TO HIS APARTMENT (scandal alert! i know, but it was really sweet and he lives in the building right next to mine) and we talk for awhile.
and guess what? he won the national book award two years ago! the dude gets stopped on the street!
i looked it up! it's legit!
anyway, i'm glad i met someone cool and i think we'll get together again sometime next weekend.
this just teaches me to GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT and have adventures and be open to new people and new things and new sounds and new tastes.
